A card inspired by another!

I have a card here that I've made for the Colour Q challenge. As soon as I saw this colour combo, and the stunning card made by Sylvia, it inspired me to CASe her card. So here is my card...

A closer view

And here is Sylvia's card...

Isn't it just stunning??

I used similar techniques to Sylvia too, including stamping and embossing my image before colouring with my Stampin' Up! markers. A little trick I discovered whilst colouring...if you don't have a watercolour blender pen, try spritzing a little water onto a tile or some acetate, and dip your coloured marker into the water before colouring. Then, as the water wears out, the colour gets deeper, so creating some shading.

Gorgeous card, Lizzy, beautiful CASE of my card! Your treatment of the stamps with water to the marker is lovely! To get my deeper color I actually apply the marker, no water many times to get the color darker. but your marbled look is fabulous! Thanks for sharing your card with us this week at the colourQ. It is amazing how the same stamps may be used in so many different ways, different looks! Love yours!
